but it's already commoditized.

What is your setup like? How much VRAM do you have? I'm curious about what is the minimum configuration that you would need to run this locally.

Can the same mechanism be used to make sure it outputs syntactically correct code?

There's probably a good reason for this. Demos usually just show the happy case, whereas in practice you have to deal with all the nasty edge cases of reality.

Could the reason be as simple as saying that every AI model has been trained on basically the same input data sets?

> This happens a lot because at the individual level, it’s sort of in everyone’s best interest to take the deal. The prosecutor wants $2,000 and 0 jail time and it all goes away. If you don’t take the deal, even assuming you win in the end, it will probably cost you way more than $2,000 and however long the probation check ins take. You will recover neither your time, nor the money you spent on lawyers/transportation/days off/etc.

Are there absolutely no provisions for an innocent person to claim all the expenses they had to incur ?

That is a different problem. In this case it should be clear that the prosecutors have messed up and won't admit it, maybe to save their carriers. They are going after someone innocent because it is the easy target while the real criminal is at large.

Isn't it Cashapp that allowed a criminal to open an account with someone else's social security number? Does she have a case against Cashapp?

> Engage in sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models.

I'm curious what the reason for including this, because at the end of the day its a string of text (tokens) going into a function and it spitting out another string of text.

Maybe they are using the prompts and responses for training doesn't want these to influence future model behavior?

There were plenty of internet connected phones before the iphone. Nokia, Samsung all had phones with full internet access and browsers and other apps. I think there was even a Java mobile app standard called J2ME.

LOL. So basically they built some new product and it's not getting enough adoption. And they're looking to get (*almost) free labor to do the work for them.

> then there are 10^100 possible paths through that session.

Is this correct? in practice you would only be deciding what the next turn is going to be. Because the turn after the next turn is determined by the outcome of the next turn. So shouldn't this number be 10 * 100?

What's different this time is that LLMs require orders of magnitude more memory than we could have ever used before. And I think it's getting obvious by now that inference will move to local compute, So everyone's laptops and phones would need a lot of memory.

is this just a fancy way of saying that sometimes humans makes quick heuristic based decisions, and sometimes they think through things thoroughly?

I don't think there's any problem category that is strictly a quick heuristic decision or something that you will think through thoroughly always. I think it's more about how much time you have. If you don't have time you'll make a quick heuristic based decision. If you have more time you will think through it more. Imagine you're driving and suddenly like a branch falls on the road right in front of you. And you need to avoid it. Your brain will quickly use a heuristic based approach to avoid the branch. But on the other hand, if this branch was already there on the road and you saw it from far away, you will probably take a lot more time to think through and figure out which path you need to take.

Wouldn't you need a classifier to even decide if it is system 1 or 2? How capable does this classier need to be?

How relevant is this fast/slow thinking thing with regards to current frontier models?

I know a large organization who's built their AI framework completely around this concept, and I feel that it's not really meaningful concept with the capabilities of current models.
